Ship Size Mod for 1.2.7.9

[StoddardOXC]

I installed python now through the microsoft store and used pip3 to uninstall and istall lxml and icon
now the message is coming again:
ImportError: cannot import name 'icon_png' from 'icon'

Oh, I forgot completely. Sorry, I took too much for granted.

icon_png is in https://github.com/StoddardOXC/dw2tools ... in/icon.py which is supposed to be in same dir as sizemodgen.py

One really has to use git and clone the github repo then just pull updates when tracking this sort of fast iterative development.

No, I have icon.py in the folder where I start sizemodgen.py
Still it asks for it..
And when I place this icon.py inside the "python-3.13.1-embed-amd64\Lib\site-packages\icon"
then the next problem WAS the "tree" in lxml.
Now I am stuck again with the icon problem.

wellwell.. with another pc it worked out!

It must be a wrong installation where the paths are not set correct

But now:

Using the original data folder gives me this:

I had to create a folder where I copied all relevant xml files as an original to get needed results:

python .\sizemodgen.py .\origData .\.

For me on the actuak dw2 game it crashes. Its maybe the factor 12.

I will do another try with 1/6th.
Tomorrow I am going to make a video to show how I did it.
I extract all sizes and then look for the smallest size. Then i divide through the smallest size and round them so that they are integers.

The 1/6th is not crashing but the models look like they are untouched..

I am sure it is my fault.

I am going to write a new program that is doing it in a way that I can understand whats going on.
Meanwhile playing the game should be not forgotten

But so many things are nagging me, I have to have a game running 100%. Before that, I can not play :-/

[rxnnxs]

Ahh.. now I compared the files..
The Problem lies only in the orbit.xml

And I think there is an ID limit. you can not go over a id of.. lets SAY 59 or so..
Yours go over 100, thats definitely too much.

Now Your mod can get startet when I delete the orbtype.xml

Orb Type ID is an UnsignedByte, the value range is 0 to 255 (256 values), a Byte value goes from -128 to 127
so 100 should not be a problem really...just sayin

[rxnnxs]

It has nothing to do with the unsigned byte..

[ChrisGb]

It has nothing to do with the unsigned byte..

Just run a quick test and with ID 128 it indeed crashed with OutOfArray error.
Did you test how high it would allow ?
